David, You don't really have to shut down this group. You as moderator delete all the spamm posts and bar from this group those who posted them. Then you can...
So, you've got this creative thing that you do. Everyone says you're great. Your mom thinks you are a superstar! You've spent alot of money and alot of time...
It seems everyone I know right now is suffering monetarily, physically, and spiritually. Call it a recession, the dogs days of summer, the end of days, ...
If it were only that simple... We live in a complex, fallen world destined for Armageddon when the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. Some may talk about...
Hey guys, I appreciate the thread and empathize with what you are both saying! I would like to respond to some of what you have written in your e-mails. The...
Thanks for the three great posts. I am an ordained Presbyterian minister. That was a great message. It was ''refreshing" to see Philippians 4:6 quoted....
We must also be careful to note the context of the passages we quote. The gospels are primarily the presentation of the promised Messiah to Israel (for the...
Well, I think as Christians we are pretty safe to quote Jesus as inspired word of the Lord. We'll quote Mark Twain, Oprah, and even Dr. Phil to help us get...
I guess I'm still not sure how I am quoting out of context. Paul wrote Philippians from prison (talk about a tough time in his life!) As a matter of fact, the...
I appreciate the opportunity to interact. Quoting "be anxious for nothing..." is certainly appropriate. I guess what I am saying is that, quoting "seek ye...
Thanks for the announcement about your new coffeehouse outreach! I am always glad to see churches using jazz music for outreach! Since admission is free does...
It's easy to get so caught up in what great artists we are and how God gave us such unique vision, to forget one simple truth: We're never finished. I read the...
As jazz artists, we try to speak another language musically. Something beyond the easy to understand "normal" lite rock that you hear in Kroger while you shop....
Sounds basically good to me. What I rarely hear addressed is how the believer's obligation to pursue holiness applies to music. All things are to be done to...

Concerning the "heart" a couple of scriptures came to mind, although they are not in the context of musical style. In 1 Samuel 16:7, ... "Man looks at the ...

Likewise, humming the melody to Amazing Grace would not communicate John Newton's experience to those who've never heard the song. Thanks for your comments. ...
I was watching the Ken Burns Jazz special and when teens loved Ragtime, parents eschewed it as evil and "noise". Personally, everything I play (in church or...
All well and fine, except for one point you state so clearly: "...screaming like possessed demons, but doing so "in the Spirit"." Does the Word, properly...
I think that's the sticking point here. Just like parents judged ragtime (or rock music) as "from the devil", we make our own assumptions based on what we see...
HIyall, I'm going to playing a solo bass gig in at Pikes Perk in Colorado Springs (Academy & Vickers) next Friday night from ~8-10. It'll be just me, a six...
